How Much Should I Expect to Pay for a Jeep?

Unfortunately there's a known issue with the ECU going bad on those years. Probably needs it.

yea, I know all about that we went through it with my brothers 06 Rubi . but him describing it when it warms up i would try 02sensors 1st. but worst case it needs a ECU and you have a nice LJ for $9k.....
 
Last time i looked i saw several nice LJ's in ca for around 10k$
Those sellers got spooked when they found this label on them. ;)

This LJ with 100,000 miles on it sold locally for $12,000 a month ago. The guy bought it to flip and is asking $15,000 and can't sell it. Ditch the 3" BL, wheels and chrome and I'd give him $11,000............maybe.

What is the backspacing on them wheels? They look like the stick out 6'' or so,judging from the little side lights.
 
I bought a near stock 04 Sahara around Christmas for $15K. 68K Miles.

Only add ons were: Savvy Rails and aluminum corners, KYB Shocks.

They are going up in value though. About 9 years ago, my LJ was listed for $17K and had been sitting for months. It was built with a 4" long arm, 35's and lockers.

That seems like a good deal, very clean. That said its clear a lot of people in here think that is a lot of money. I wonder why they put the alum panels on though.

I think the OP is looking for a Rubicon.

I figure take your normal price and add ~$2 - $4K for a Rubi. Plus if you're holding out for an actual Rubi, you are decreasing your chance of finding one significantly. Many non-rubi will be built more than a Rubi. Maybe minus the 241.
 
This thread makes me want a LJ even more

My third wangler was a LJ, I owned it for 2 years ,then sold it. I have owned 2 other wanglers after that and never wished I had the LJ back. The one I should have kept was the 03 deep red Sahara, loaded with all options that were available, even came with both tops.
